How wd I go about getting the auto title to form from the first 50 characters or so of the body?
I'm assuming a php snippet is required here, but I don't "know PHP" so if someone doesn't mind giving me a little code here for that, I'd appreciate.

Got an idea to look at comment.module and see how it constructs Subject field from the comment body.
I believe it happens here 

if (variable_get('comment_subject_field_'. $node->type, 1) == 1) {
$form['subject'] = array('#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Subject'), '#maxlength' => 64, '#default_value' => !empty($edit['subject']) ? $edit['subject'] : '');
}

So I suppose this is a clue, but I don't how to use it yet, especially in a node.
